5.00Guide was great! Food and wines were good and well thought out. Only downside was that it should have ended with a small shot of Ouzo instead of a small shot of Homebrew which we had had already. Might be more apt to buy some Ouzo if I had a chance to try it.

5.00Zephy was an amazing guide! We walked some of the older, pedestrian friendly areas of Athens. Each of our stops offered generous samplings of Greek food that were traditional but with a modern flare. We were in a small group and for one of our last stops we had a sit down family style sampling of food in a restaurant and were able to enjoy good conversations with our fellow tour group travelers. I highly recommend this tour! It was an excellent start to our visit to Athens and Greece.
